Lara Skill Improvements

The goals here would be improve Lara's bossing by a lot, give her more and better supportive tools in her skill kit, and give her better maneuverability.

__________________________________________________

Lara's Teleport Skill:
Grant Lara the option to right-click the teleport skill in the skill window to change it to a different mode, where the different mode will function like Battle Mage's teleport where it can teleport freely a set distance without the need of a platform and has no cooldown of any kind.

Allowing Lara users to choose between their preferred teleport style of teleporting to a dragon vein or being able to freely teleport to where they want within 4 directions.

This will help out Lara's bossing a ton being able to freely teleport to dodge boss attacks, teleport into the air to stay in the air longer, able to quickly get back to the ground, or reposition herself while still in the air.

__________________________________________________

Manifestation Skills:
~ All manifestation skills would have their cooldowns removed entirely.

~ All manifestation skills will be summoned from a single skill key instead of 3 separate skill keys, what manifestation that gets summoned will be based on the element of the dragon vein only.

~ River skill reworked entirely.
Travelling the river is a cool novelty and all, but you use it once and never again. It is not very useful in any scenario.

--- New Manifestation River Skill:
> Duration: 30 seconds
> While Lara and party members are within the area, restore 2% MP every 1 second.
> While Lara and party members are within the area, can double tap any directional key to cause the river to blast you in that direction.
(Can move up, left, right, and down!)
(Skill area's size would be the same as Sunlight and Wind Manifestations / 4x the size of current Wind and Sunlight Manifestations.)

~ Sunlight skill improvements:
> Duration increased to 30 seconds from 20 seconds.
> Healing increased from 10% HP every 2 seconds to 10% HP every 1 second while within the area.
> Area's horizontal size is doubled and vertical size is doubled (this would net to 4x its current size).

~ Wind skill improvements:
> Area's horizontal size is doubled and vertical size is doubled (this would net to 4x its current size).

The manifestations size is too small to properly be utilized at all in the chaos of a boss fight and the cooldowns are very intrusive to make proper use of the unique utility that these skills offer to the party and for Lara.

Having the manifestation skills be summoned with only 1 skill key instead of 3 skill keys will really help with freeing up keyboard space (which Lara really needs this because she has a lot of skills she needs to key bind).

    Though... Lara wouldn't need a teleportation change with just these Manifestation skill improvements and rework, but I still want a better teleport too...
